Bulkhead-mounted industrial connector housing offers IP67 protection

Harting has introduced a bulkhead-mounted version of its proven Han B industrial connector housing providing improved protection against water ingress up to protection level IP67.

The new housing incorporates a special flange which prevents water from penetrating into the connector and consequently offers ideal protection for the contact points in the housing interior.

A circumferential collar also prevents the seal from sliding off inwards or outwards, and consequently offers solid support. The use of a stable seal offsets the effect of uneven sections and provides additional protection against water penetration.

No extra costs are incurred when the IP67 bulkhead-mounted housing is installed, as the cut-out corresponds to the dimensions of the existing Han housing portfolio. The new bulkhead-mounted housing is locked with the Harting Han-Easy Lock levers, which allow a high contact pressure level when closed and also provide optimal sealing between the hood and the bottom housing.

The new IP67 flange is the latest addition to Harting’s range of housings for use in industrial environments.

Potential applications are in any industrial sectors where operational reliability is required under extreme conditions, such as wind turbines, cranes, electricity substations and the rail industry.
